Sheriff Lew Ferris faces a challenging start on her first day as the newly-elected Sheriff of McBride County in the Wisconsin Northwoods. The tragic drowning of a teenage girl echoes an unsolved murder from thirty years prior, but her new subordinate, Alan Stern, Chief of the Deer Haven Police Department, has ruled it an accidental death. Both Lew and the girl's family reject this conclusion, but Lew encounters sexism and resistance from Stern, who dismisses her concerns and relies on the local coroner, Ed Pecore, whom Lew believes is unqualified. Complicating matters, a wealthy local resident's interference reopens a decades-old cold case, risking a relative's quest for vigilante justice. Meanwhile, Lew's friend, Dr. Paul "Doc" Osborne, becomes embroiled in a dangerous money laundering scheme that threatens his daughter and her friend. As tensions rise, Lew feels the pressure mounting, determined to uncover the long-buried secrets that may lead her to a killer. In a landscape where the fish are biting, Lew must navigate treacherous waters to find the truth and protect those she cares about.
